The place was an excellent find on Airbnb and it was perfect for my needs. The pictures provided are 100% accurate.
Communication was very fast and often within the hour. Replies were concise and friendly.
The host was respectful and provided the privacy that I desire. Pretty much all the basic items were provided, including towels, soap, drinking water, coffee and tea. There are all the appliances that you will ever need during a stay - washing machine with dryer, oven, fridge, microwave, dishwasher, kettle, toaster, coffee maker etc! The host was kind enough to even provide disposable toothbrushes, toothpaste etc! It wasn't necessary but the effort was appreciated. I love that drinking water is provided as Bangkok water is not very best out of the tap.
The unit has a pretty patio in front, with scrubs and fish, providing a nice buffer from the noise and activity along the main road (The Russian embassy was right across the road. There were some peaceful demonstrations but I could hardly hear much when I am inside the unit. ) It is a very safe area with no dark alleys. Security cameras at the front gate and along patio gives me a peace of mind. There is a generous dining table which I love. With the patio allowing abundant natural light into the dining area, it is a nice place for meals and work. The internal rooms are fairly dark but very quiet and comfortable. There are two smart televisions with Netflix, Spotify and internet access.
The two BTS stations were not too far away (maybe 800-900m) but the horrendous Bangkok heat and humidity makes a mid afternoon walk a much dreaded one. It is fine in the evenings. There are plenty of shops, cheap massage places, cafes and a supermarket within a 10 minute walk away. Going to any parts of the city was easy using public transport. Lumpini park was not fully open due to the current pandemic restrictions and it is located not too far away. I enjoy my morning jogs there.
Apart from very minor issues at the beginning, my stay was great throughout. Great communication made a huge difference. I enjoy feeding the fish and tidying up the patio. It feels just like home. I will definitely return for a repeat stay should my future travels allow.
